Hi! I have lived in Colorado Springs for 18 years and have special designations in Military Relocation as well as Senior Real Estate moves. Before becoming a Realtor, I was the editor of the town newspaper and created programs to train journalists about digital strategy. I am a great communicator and can be reached promptly over email, phone or text. I love being a Realtor because I get to meet new people and show them my favorite features of the Springs. I also enjoy helping people get the best deal for their money. With the rapid growth in our market, I love showing new residents the different areas of town and finding them a place that feels like home. And I am experienced in new construction, where I will be your advocate with the builders and make sure they are watching out for YOUR interests.
